"It is totally baseless and totally false," Cain said. "Never have I ever committed any kind of sexual harassment."

He added: "If the restaurant association did a settlement, I wasn’t even aware of it and I hope it wasn’t for much. If there was a settlement, it was handled by some of the other officers at the restaurant association."
